However, Fu Shu was the apple of the Duke of Zhongguo's eye, and Xie Jingyin needed the Duke of Zhongguo's full support to seize the throne. She dared not take Fu Shu's life, so she could only push Fu Shu to someone else, and this person could not threaten Xie Jingyin's position.

Xie Jingyan has a leg ailment and is disliked by the Emperor. More importantly, Xie Jingyan is her husband. They have shown affection for each other several times at the Pingyang Marquis's residence, which makes Shen Ying misunderstand that they are deeply in love and want to send Fu Shu over to make her feel annoyed.

Shen Ying was unaware that Xie Jingyan's legs had already healed, and that the endurance he had developed from the poisoning of his legs had enabled him to rush back.

Xie Jingyan didn't fall into the trap set by Shen Ying, but Fu Shu was too weak to escape. She was poisoned with aphrodisiacs and would explode and die if she didn't have sex. She died in the Prince of Jin's mansion, and Xie Jingyin couldn't explain it to Prince Zhong.

Moreover, Empress Song and Prince Jin were already dissatisfied with Shen Ying. Without the military power in her father's hands, Shen Ying was nothing. Xie Jingyin was not Xie Jingyan; he valued power above all else.

Empress Song originally favored Fu Shu, but since Xie Jingyin and Shen Ying were betrothed by the Emperor, she could not give Fu Shu the position of principal wife, but she could give her to Xie Jingyin as a concubine. Even Empress Song did not dare to openly say this to Zhongguo.

Now that the deed is done, Fu Shu is Xie Jingyin's woman. The Duke of Zhongguo's mansion will teach Shen Ying a lesson: what it means to try to steal a chicken but lose the rice instead, and to lift a stone only to drop it on one's own foot.

The thought that Fu Shu would marry Xie Jingyin as his principal wife and be on equal footing with Shen Ying made Shen Wan feel happy.

If Shen Ying hadn't been so ambitious and petty, and hadn't included Fu Shu in her schemes, things wouldn't have come to this.

By now, Shen Ying must be kicking herself!

Shen Wan thought bitterly.
